Default New B-max4 kit? Is it possible?
Hi all, would anybody have any insight into the possibility of Yokomo coming out with a new kit for the B-max4? With the Japans national kit having had such success, and the new Big bores and carbon battery strap out now, I was thinking they might bring out a new kit including these hop-ups...

Anybody have an oppinion on this? Sponsored racers, any inside info about this? Yay/Nay?

I might be buying myself a B-max4 this winter, but would definetly hold out if they will be coming out with a new kit... Cheaper than buying the hop-ups afterwards...

Cheers for any input on this!

Yes, that's the one I'm waiting for, too!
I wanted to get a DEX410 first, but with no Durango team driver to support me in my club, what's a hobby driver to do... Well, could have been worse!

Looks like it has the option front suspension block too, so hopefully it's bling all over!

Who's esc's/motors are they rebadging for their brushless?

Seems to be a trend over there, Tamiya have just rebadged the SXX TC too!

Is it just me or does that look like a new body with a bigger air vent on the side?

Looks like the same body, with a large hole to fit the heat sink from the alu motor mount.

It doeas also contain the new carbon fiber battery mounts! An additional pair of springs (orange, soft) seems to be included, too , but unfortunately the front wheel hexes seem to be missing...

Wow, the hexes are not on the exploded view... It's either a mistake, or they really did omit them...

As for the springs, I think it comes with black front (medium) orange rear (soft)... Not a full set, with means ordering more for tuning...

Hey Johan, can you confirm that the only shock springs included with the kit are the black fronts and orange rears? And it's the 87T spur that's included?

Thanks!
